Great stuff Ammon and team! Can you discuss how you might test for bootcamps overfitting their curriculums to interviews? They definitely would seem financially incentivized to do just that. From a personal anecdote, someone I interviewed w

Has anyone done a survey of the family socio-economic status of startup founders and early employees? I'd be curious to see how many founders/early employees are from low-income families, whether their parents graduated college, e

This is a cool idea and nice drop-in for most homepages with a custom tweet button + share count-- great job to the devs that put it together! However, it appears to use the REST API's search endpoint to count the shares, which is focu
